Father Christmas, in a blue coat and red hat, is driving a green and red car. The back is overflowing with toys, everything from dolls to drums. There is an inset poem reading "Be merry and full of Joy / Every [picture of girl] and every [picture of boy] / May your [picture of stockings] be full of good things, / And your [picture of heart] be gay as everybody sings / A Merry Christmas." It is handwritten addressed "To Harvey" "from Anna".
